The first rankings after the first game of the season are out. These are always fun to watch, but we all know the real rankings will be at the conclusion of the season.
Norton, Axtell and Cunningham are the only teams that received all number one votes from the ranking team.
The closest voting between number one and number two teams was Hoxie and Leoti, followed by Andale and Cheney. The ranking team is pretty much split in half trying to decide who should be number one and who should be number two.
Let me encourage all of you to get to your local high school football game this week or at least a couple games this fall. High school football, my guess, sells more tickets and has more fans at their games than KU or K-State combined, when you consider there are at least 350 high school teams in our state.
Go to the high school game and check the score of the college game on your phone.
